Clinton the closer? Bill Clinton stumps for Obama in battleground state of Florida

Fresh off his star turn at the Democratic convention, Former President Bill Clinton hits the campaign trail Tuesday for President Barack Obama in a crucial swing state, Florida.

The former president's power is not lost on the White House. A new CNN poll out today puts Obama's approval rating at 51 percent. That's much higher than the two presidents who lost re-election in the last 30 years, but still far below Clinton's high of 60 percent at this point in 1996.

So can Clinton charm undecided voters enough to move the needle for Obama?

OutFront tonight: CNN Contributors John Avlon, Reihan Salam, and Roland Martin.

Poll: Clinton outshines Obama?

Is former President Bill Clinton overshadowing the current president?

According to a new poll, more people say that the former president's speech was the highlight from last week's Democratic convention rather than the acceptance address given by President Barack Obama.
